Books about digital electronics and FPGA development that I like

You end up coding in VHDL (or Verilog) for this stuff. This book is great for learning the language:

This one is great if you are an electronics newb (like me) and want to learn enough to do FPGA programming:

This last one is pretty expensive, but avoid the paperback version that is for sale on Amazon. It's a really poor printing (can't read a lot of the pages) that is made only for India and isn't supposed to be sold in the US.

Pac-Man Logic Board Schematic Revision B

I scanned in the 3 pages and did the photoshop work for the pac-man logic board version b schematic. This is nice for panning around the whole schematic on your computer with no page breaks. This looks higher quality than most of the scans that I've seen out there, so I figured I'd share:
